Loosing someone close.
I remember loosing my brother, it was not easy to cope, I started to write a little something that I call REMEMBER.
I am in very low spirits, and I don't like the world very much, I think sadness is like that, you can be so low and still function, but the sadness still gnaws at your juts,I am thinking of my brother Eddie, his wife and children, how they must be feeling, anyway it went like this, but first the darkness,
How deep the Darkness, a Darkness like no other, a Darkness that is all around, bringing sadness to so many, a darkness that drags at our hearts, that brings tears to our eyes, that makes us wilt to our knees, praying for the light to refill our body and our soles, to brighten up our memories with all the joys and laughter that as died with our brother.
Remembering them all one by one, A little boy, and then, our Mother, and there beside her stands my Brother, light from the Darkness comes with joy, with smiles of happiness from the little boy,
Remember our love ones without trying
Remember our love ones without crying.
Remember the good times
forget the bad.
Remember the good things
forget the sad.
Remember the first date you ever had
that tantalising moment when he held your hand.
Remember his arms around you holding you close
that heavy breathing next to your throat.
Remember that feeling of wonder at his very first kiss that knight,
that everything you did just felt so right.
Remember the love you shared together. If only it went on for ever and ever.
Remember that white dress that you once wore,
the love the oaths that you both swore.
Remember the Uniform he use to wear,
so proud, so straight, he knew you were there.
Remember walking down that special aisle,
both of you with ready smiles.
Remember the people gathered all around
confetti in your hair confetti on the ground.
Remember flashes of light cameras at the ready,
some aimed at you some at Eddie.
Remember at the reception, good times were had by all
looking at you two having a ball.
Yes,! Remember that day that you were both wed,
that joy that laughter, that evening in bed.
Remember his head on the pillow next to yours,
He gently sleeps He gently snores,
Prod him gently to make him move, its your undoing
so it will prove.
Remember the hand that held yours tight,
Remember the arms that held you at night.
Remember the love he gave to you,
when he felt unwell or maybe blue
Remember the children, one by one, the joy, the laughter and all their fun.
Remember the smile upon his face , if his children beat him in a race.
Remember the walks you used to take,
maybe a pond?, a boat on a lake?.
Remember the assurance he gave to you,
when he held your hand and took you to school.
Remember at Christmas,
the presents you had, some for you and some for dad.
Remember the ice creams on a hot summers day ,
Remember the church where you use to pray.
I LIGHT A CANDLE TO SHOW THE WAY
IN GODS LOVE I HOPE YOU STAY
THE LIGHT OF OUR LOVE WILL LEAD YOU ON
TO GOD OUR FATHER AND ONLY SON.
Its important to remember, to let the light enter the Darkness, to brighten up our lives, to bring a feeling of well being to you and your families, the glow of his memories will keep you warm.
I am not a poet, its just something that I wrote when I was feeling very low, it helped me get through the dark times of my life,there was a lot of emotions going on,anger,sorrow, loss,wast, death, I have lost my Mother, brother, mother in law, father in law,uncle, uncle, nephew, and a number of good friends.
I just do not like it.
